Using our spaces
Here at Teesside University Students' Union (TUSU), we are proud to provide a range of safe, welcoming and inclusive study social spaces for students and, in some circumstances, the general public to use throughout the year for a range of purposes. Many of them are also available for students and the general public to hire out for private events. Find out more about them below.

The space is often adapted for freshers' fairs, sales, campaign days and other big SU events. It's also regularly used as a "second room" alongside The Terrace at night to show alternative sports matches on the big screen in there and during larger TUSU and external events held in the building. The venue can be booked out by students and non-students for external events; find out more here.
